You can change the light intensity, day length, and temperature to get the full potential of different blueberry varieties.”<br> <br> The Canadian blueberry season runs from July to the end of September. For the rest of the year Canada imports nearly half a billion dollars of blueberries from countries such as Mexico and Peru.<br> <br> These berries have a higher carbon footprint than local berries and are typically four to five weeks old by the time they reach Canadian grocery stores. Like other imported produce, they are vulnerable to shipping delays and other supply chain issues that can result in spoilage and shortages that undermine our food security.<br> <br> A home-grown solution needs to be both energy efficient and profitable for farmers. The research is being done in partnership with B.C.-based agritech company BeriTech Inc. with $1 million in support from the Weston Family Foundation as part of the Shepherd Phase of the <a href="https://homegrownchallenge.ca/grantees/high-intensity-production-system-to-deliver-local-off-season-fresh-blueberries-at-scale/" target="_blank">Homegrown Innovation Challenge</a>.<br> <br> The research team is evaluating selected blueberry varieties under controlled environmental conditions to better understand how factors such as temperature, lighting and airflow can be used to enhance their growth. The first round of growth trials are underway at BeriTech’s research farm and at SFU.<br> <br> The research team will also be exploring ways to use resources more efficiently, reducing water and energy use and recycling fertilizers to reduce waste. They are also considering how they will introduce a brand-new category of food to Canadian consumers, with support from Beedie School of Business professors Terri Griffith and Andrew Harries.<br> <br> </p> </div></div> <div class="text parbase section"> <div class="ruled"> <h2><b>AVAILABLE SFU EXPERT</b></h2> <p>JIM MATTSSON, professor, SFU Biological Sciences <br> 778.960.2500 | <a href="mailto:jmattsso@sfu.ca" target="_blank">jmattsso@sfu.ca</a><br> </p> <h2><b>CONTACT</b></h2> <p>JEFF HODSON, SFU Communications & Marketing <br> | <a href="mailto:jdhodson@sfu.ca" target="_blank">jdhodson@sfu.ca</a><br> </p> </div></div> <div class="text parbase section"> <div class="ruled"> <h3><b>ABOUT THE HOMEGROWN INNOVATION CHALLENGE</b></h3> <p>Delivered over six years, the $33 million Homegrown Innovation Challenge supports the development of tools and technologies to enable Canadian farmers and producers to grow berries out of season – sustainably and competitively.
